Joe Creek -- Pacific Beach State Park Washington

Joe Creek flows past the campground at Pacific Beach and joins with the Ocean.

These old pier remnants line the creek. At high tide, you can't distinguish the ocean from the creek.   We arrived during the full moon and the high and low tides were very pronounced.  A storm came through and at times the ocean appeared angry, with large waves, one after another sweeping over the sand.

Kim got excited thinking there were fish jumping in Joe Creek, but it turned out the running water is slowly eroding the sides, and you can hear the sand falling into the water as you walk.

Each night as the sun sank below the horizon, beautiful hues of dark peach lit up the sky.
